About Ajibola

Ajibola Obajimi is an Illinois-licensed clinician who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He brings four years of professional experience to therapeutic work and acknowledges clients as the primary experts of their own stories, drawing on their strengths as the foundation for change. His style blends practical, evidence-informed tools with a respectful, collaborative stance.

Ajibola uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and he integrates client-centered principles to prioritize each person’s goals and perspective. Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems also inform his practice when exploring ambivalence, internal parts, and complex relational patterns.

He welcomes people seeking support for substance use concerns, mood disorders, multicultural issues, paranoia, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as porn, exercise, or gambling. Ajibola offers services in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.

He is available through a variety of online session formats and works under the Illinois LCPC credential IL LCPC 180011550.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Ajibola draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building on their innate strengths to set goals and guide progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ajibola works with clients to explore which methods feel most fitting for their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to align with the client's goals and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation barriers, and access care from different locations. These flexible formats support ongoing work between sessions and allow licensed professionals to tailor pacing and contact style to each client’s rhythm.
